"I'll hurry back," he said. He shrugged off Stephen and moved forward to take her into his arms. 

"Bye." He backed away slowly and met Stephen at the distance. Stephen though was looking at Angelina who had just emerged from her room. 

"See you soon! We'll work things out!" He winked. Angelina didn't reply, taking the opportunity to stare at Katherine. 

"How long does it take to say goodbye? Damnit, you people are a mess."
